Pricing
3-Day Program: Dozens of students complete this flagship program every single month. The 3-day program is $6,500. This price includes 7 hours of flight time, a mock oral, and the DPE fee. Fuel surcharge is included in the price.
5-Day Program: The 5-day program is currently unavailable.
MEI Add-on Program: The MEI Add-on program is currently unavailable.
*We strongly recommend adding one additional day to your travel plans in the event of weather delays.
DPE Availability
One of the most common questions we’re asked is if there’s a DPE available to perform the checkride. With our 3-day and 5-day programs, we work with multiple DPEs in the North Texas area to do our best to schedule a checkride on the final day of your program. We are generally very successful, but this does depend on student readiness for checkride at the end of their training, DPE availability, and weather. You don’t need to handle any of the checkride scheduling, our team coordinates this checkride for you.
Timeline
Pre-Program Course: Before you arrive for any of our multi-engine programs you’ll receive an online ground course. This video-based course is the key to completing your flight training in such a short period of time. Learn More
3-Day Program: Training is performed in pairs over the course of 2 days. Then on the third day, you’ll take your checkride! We recommend planning on a 4th day in the event of a weather delay.
Training in Pairs
Most of our accelerated multi-engine programs are performed in pairs with one other student. During day one, you’ll have a 1.5-hour flight in the morning where you fly with the instructor while the other student rides in the back seat observing. Then you’ll swap seats with the other student and watch them fly.
You’ll take a break for lunch and then follow the exact same pattern with a 1.5-hour flight followed by back seating for the other student’s flight. Day two follows the exact same schedule.
We’ve found this method to be highly effective in rapidly learning maneuvers, operations, and the systems of the aircraft. You’re able to observe the instructor’s direction to the other student and see the mistakes they make so you can avoid making them yourself.
